A Low‐Power Radioisotope XRF Spectrometer for Detection of Light Elements on Planetary Missions
ABSTRACT Current X‐ray spectrometers for in situ geochemical analysis on planetary missions typically rely either on X‐ray tubes, which demand electrical power and add mass and thermal complexity, or on alpha particle X‐ray spectrometers (APXS) that use rare 244 Cm sources, and come with severe concerns on radiation safety and isotope availability.

Abstract While climate‐driven increases in wildfires are altering the composition and function of Arctic ecosystems, the impact of burn severity on longer‐term changes in community composition and ecosystem fluxes remains less understood, creating uncertainty in estimates of the biome's carbon storage capacity.

Abstract The F10.7 solar radio flux density, or F10.7, is a disk‐integrated measure of the Sun's total emission at 10.7 cm (2.8 GHz) and is a widely‐used proxy of solar activity. F10.7 emissions primarily originate from the Sun's upper chromosphere and lower corona. High‐frequency, transient “radio bursts” can dramatically increase the magnitude of F10.

Laboratory astrophysics and microanalysis with NTD-germanium-based X-ray microcalorimeters
With the ability to create cosmic plasma conditions in the laboratory it is possible to investigate the dependencies of key diagnostic X-ray lines on density, temperature, and excitation conditions that exist in astrophysical sources with X-ray optics ...

Abstract We introduce a data archive containing the first highly resolved profiles of velocity and sediment concentration within the wave bottom boundary layer (WBBL) on a natural sandy beach. Resolution of the thin WBBL was made possible by deployment of a unique “Multi‐Frequency Doppler” (MFDop) bistatic acoustic profiling instrument on an Oregon ...

Assessing SWOT's Measurement Capabilities in the Complex Paraná River
Abstract Estimating water surface elevation (WSE) is crucial for understanding hydrological processes; however, many rivers remain insufficiently monitored due to the limitations of in situ gauge networks. The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission, equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar technology, enables global monitoring of WSE with high

A Solar Analog Model for Decrease in Far Ultraviolet Irradiance Under a Grand Minimum
Abstract Solar analog field stars having a range of magnetic activity can provide an estimate of solar spectral irradiance (SSI) variability relevant to understanding the Sun's influence on terrestrial climate. This approach is particularly useful for far ultraviolet (FUV) irradiance that cannot be observed from the Earth surface.

The SPIDER CMB Polarimeter [PDF]
SPIDER is a balloon-borne millimeter-wave telescope designed to study the polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). SPIDER will map 10% of the full sky with degree-scale beams to search for the distinctive inflationary gravitational wave ...
